Bourne Identity spy Matt Damon and soccer icon David Beckham have become fast friends since hooking up on a beer commercial – and RadarOnline.com can reveal it's got Damon's old pal Ben Affleck fuming with jealousy.
In the ad for Stella Artois suds that aired during Super Bowl LIX, Beckham, 49, plays 'David.' who introduces Damon, 54, as 'Dave' – his "long-lost twin brother," and the 'reunited siblings' were then seen bonding over ice-cold beers and chicken wings.
Matt Damon and David Beckham's growing friendship has left Ben Affleck feeling sidelined, sources say.
Affleck reportedly feels abandoned as Damon and Beckham bond beyond their Super Bowl beer ad.
As previously reported, Affleck, 52, has been to rehab multiple times – the last in 2018, when his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, mom of his three kids, Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, staged an intervention after he relapsed.
Our source went on: "At a time when Ben needs his friend most, here is Matt getting all palsy with Becks. Matt hasn't had as much time for Ben lately and has been doing his own thing socially.
Sources said Affleck is hurt seeing his longtime friend Damon grow closer to soccer star Beckham.

"Meanwhile, Matt and David get along well. They have lots in common besides a beer commercial and have been hanging out a lot from what Ben hears."
The new friendship reportedly is the last thing Affleck needs following his marriage bust-up with Jennifer Lopez last year.
Our insider went on: "Ben feels Matt could be slipping away from him as his bestie and is gloomy thinking about it."
